Technical SEO Challenges

It’s not enough to focus on link building and on page keyword optimization if the technical aspects of your website are not sound. We run into clients often who fail to answer these questions:

Are all of your critical web pages being indexed by Google?

What is your site speed? Is it slow?

Are your pages properly interlinked for added crawlability?

Should you restructure your site so it’s better technically sound?

If you’re changed your entire url structure, are you redirecting to the proper landing pages, so you don’t lose out on SEO rankings?

How many error 404 pages do you have?

These questions along with 50 others are what we go through with companies with complex technical seo challenges.
